The selecting module 110 is configured for selecting a speaker 200 from the plurality of speakers 200, and turning on the selected speaker 200.
The playing module 120 is configured for playing an original audio file stored in the storage device 40 to generate an audio signal, and further configured for outputting the audio signal via the speaker 200. In one embodiment, the original audio file is in a WAVE format. In other embodiments, the original audio file may be an MIDI format or be any other playable format.
The recording module 130 is configured for recording the audio signal outputted by the speaker 200 as a new audio file via the microphone 30. The recording module 130 is further configured for tracking a time that the playing module 120 starts to play the original audio file (hereinafter referred to as “the playing start time”) and tracking a time the recording module 130 starts to record the audio signal (hereinafter referred to as “the recording start time”). In one embodiment, the new audio file is also in a WAVE format. In other embodiments, the new audio file may be an MIDI format, or an MPI format. The recording module 130 may store the new audio file into storage device 40. The storage device 40, in one embodiment, may comprise a hard disk drive, a flash drive, a CD drive, for example.
The time difference computing module 140 is configured for computing a time difference between the playing start time and the recording start time for each speaker 200.
The pitch obtaining module 150 is configured for determining a pitch of the new audio file. For example, the pitch obtaining module 150 may transform the new audio file, in the WAVE format, from the time domain to the frequency domain, then obtains the pitch of the new audio file from the frequency domain. It is understood that a pitch of a sound (or an audio file) is commonly referred to a frequency of the sound (or the audio file). A high pitch sound corresponds to a high frequency sound wave and a low pitch sound corresponds to a low frequency sound wave.
